Case Study: Library Foundation of Los Angeles achieves unified inventory control and true mobile POS capabilities with Retail Pro International

Innovative Bookstore Raises The Bar With Retail Pro

The Library Foundation of Los Angeles operates The Library Store, a distinctive bookstore and mobile shop that supports local literacy programs. Managing more than 5,000 SKUs in-store and 100+ SKUs on its mobile truck and online store created inventory, cost-of-goods and reporting challenges that basic mobile POS solutions couldn't handle, so the customer selected Retail Pro International’s Retail Pro 9 to meet its needs.

Retail Pro International, with implementation support from One Step Retail Solutions, deployed Retail Pro 9 as a true mobile POS and centralized inventory system, enabling integrated inventory control, accurate COGS, freight allocation, discounts and averaging across channels. The solution handled thousands of SKUs, added user-friendly features like touchscreen signature capture, and allowed The Library Store to expand mobile operations while maintaining accuracy—helping preserve profits that fund multiple local reading and literacy programs and supporting the store’s continued community recognition.
